The method of reconstructing an n-dimensional system from observations is to form vectors of m consecutive observations, which for m 2n, is generically an embedding. This is Takens's result. The Jacobian methods for Lyapunov exponents utilize a function of m variables to model the data, and the...

The UK Government's energy policy is for competitive markets not only to deliver lower prices (they have succeeded) but to play a role in securing environmental improvements (reduction of greenhouse and other gases) and diversity, for long-term fuel security. The Government is pursuing its goal...

In our work we are studying how genetic algorithms (GAs) can evolve cellular automata (CAs) to perform computations that require global coordination. The "evolving cellular automata" framework is an idealized means for studying how evolution (natural or computational) can create systems that...

Organizations, particularly large multinational firms, have a substantial impact on the economies and societies in which they operate. Unfortunately some far-reaching influences are not anticipated, and, the consequences of these organizational actions can create long-term, adverse outcomes....
